If FINA collecting taxes is anything to go by I doubt this initiative will work very well. Probably most people will just refuse to pay it as it happened in another country prior to it being an EU member. That said, parking in Zagreb is still pretty cheap compared to most European cities. I bet it will be illegal under EU law. I know if you get a fine while driving abroad you normally have to pay for it on the spot as the police can't come after you for it in your home country, probably the same with this idea. Challenge to take it to court and they would probably drop it. www.croatiantimes.com/news/General_News/2014-06-24/35822/Croatia_sends_thousands_of_invoices_to_European_tourists_who_escaped_paying_parking |

I am the happy receiver of a parking fee from Dubrovnik dated 16.05.2013 where I allegedly parked without paying the fee at a location I can't understand (SET K.ZVON-HOT.PARK.) I can't remember where I were more than a year ago so it may be right, but on the other hand it may also be wrong because I ALWAYS pay via SMS in Dubrovnik. I am going to complain about it and will let you know the result.

I had a nutty thing happen once in Zagreb, I placed the machine parking ticket on the right hand side (where my steering wheel is) and the roaming ticket inspector didn't spot it so he issued a ticket. I cought the guy before he headed off, but then he said he couldn't tear it up. I then had to waste my time going to the main ticket office to have them nullify the ticket. I really should have charged them for my time. |

I got it mailed to my address in Denmark and it seems that Europark, which operates here, is collecting on behalf of a Dubrovnik company.

It it dated prior to Croatia becoming a full fledged EU member or afterwards? The date is 16/05/13 - so before EU. It is claimed by Euro Parking Collection plc with address in London and on behalf of Sanitat Dubrovnik d.o.o. I have protested it on their website www.epcplc.com and have received a mail that it has been put on halt waiting for comments from Dubrovnik. I claim that I can't remember, that they don't specify and address, that I always pay via SMS and that I don't think it is legal for them anyway and will consider taking it to court. Now we will see ...... |
